lyrics

Take some dirty tricks dress them up as politics
Secret deals that steal but leave no trace
See the corporate muscle do the Spring Street hustle
Menace lurks behind each smiling face

The city reaches up from the gutter to the stars
Fighting through the dark to the light
Those trampled down on the wrong side of town
Are sacrificed to the night

Such a tasty feast laid on for a hungry beast
They praise and flatter you, feed and fatten you up!
Though you protest that you’re stronger than the rest
You’re no match for the venal and corrupt

We know the path to progress is drenched in tears and blood
We hope the gains will justify the cost
But when we find the things we love lie trampled in the mud
Who will dry the tears for what we’ve lost

What's good for the goose they say is good for you
Sucker! open up your eyes what do you see?
I get so incensed that crimes so immense
Can be committed by men who then walk free
